Reaching South Jawbone Peak is a reminder that rewarding experiences don't always come easy. Staring from just south of The Farmyard camping area, this 300m Grade 3 walk to South Jawbone Peak has some short steep sections and a few obstacles. However, once you reach the top, you can enjoy unrivalled views back towards Sugarloaf Peak.

Keep your eyes peeled for kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas and lyrebirds, and see the landscape change before your eyes on this short but challenging walk, which takes about 15 minutes one way. Starting from The Farmyard, walk south towards Sugarloaf Peak. South Jawbone Track is signposted on the left (on the right if you are approaching from Sugarloaf).

Turn your walk into an overnight hike by camping at The Farmyard – a convenient overnight spot on both the Cathedral Range Southern or Northern Circuits.

Visitor Tips: Check the weather conditions before setting out, and allow plenty of daylight to complete your walk. The weather on the range can change quickly, and there is no shelter, so ensure you are well-equipped, and wear appropriate clothing including sturdy hiking footwear. Carry sufficient water to stay hydrated (there are no natural water sources on the trail). Phone signals are unreliable – hikers should consider carrying a radio or personal locator beacon, and don’t forget to communicate your intentions to friends or relatives before setting out.
